Are compounds made from different types of atoms that are chemically bonded?
Yes. A compound is a substance made of atoms that are chemically bonded.
Is thallium a element or a compound?
element. But most elements can also be compounds. For example, oxygen is the name of an element, but two oxygens bonded together are also called oxygen, and are a compound.
Do all compounds contain at least one element?
A compound consists of at least two elements chemically bonded together.
How are bonded compounds similar?
Bonded compounds of the same molecule are for most purposes identical. Bonded compounds of different molecules in that they share or trade electrons of their constituant atoms.
Is banana an element or compound or mixture?
An element is a stand alone type of particle that is not bonded with any other element. A compound is a group of elements chemically bonded together like water being H2O and can only be separated by chemical means. A mixture is a group of compounds mixed together but they are not chemically bound to each other and can be separated by non-chemical means. The banana is made up of many compounds but is itself not a compound as those compounds are not bonded together chemically and can be mechanically separated. This makes the banana a mixture.
When atoms of the same element bond together what is that called?
The same atoms bonded together are elements. Different atoms bonded together are compounds. Oxygen gas, O2, is an element composed of molecules of two oxygen atoms covalently bonded. Water, H2O is a molecular compound composed of two hydrogen and one oxygen atoms covalently bonded. Common table salt, NaCl, is an ionic compound composed of sodium and chloride ions ionically bonded.
What are differences between elements and compounds?
Elements are only single, whereas compounds are two or more elements bonded together, for example, Hydrogen is a single element but Hydrochlroric Acid is Hydrogen and Chlorine.
What compounds compound would be covalently bonded?
molecular compounds
Can compounds composed of the same element have similar or dissimilar properties?
a compound composed of all the same elements would be a pure element. not a compound! a compound is when there is 2 or more atoms chemically bonded together. different compounds do have similar properties - they all have 2 or more atoms of elements chemically bonded together and they often react in similar way too.
Why can physical methods be used to separate mixtures but not compounds?
compounds are bonded at a molecular level. they would hve to be releived of that bond before physical separaion can occur.
Is spoonful of salt in water compound or element?
The salt and water separately are both compounds (chemically bonded), ie; are different elements put together. Salt in water is a mixture that is not chemically bonded and can be separated easily. :)
How is compound and element similar?
Elements and compounds are related in sense that elements bond together chemically to make compounds. A compound can be broken down into pure elements. Example. Water (H20), Is Hydrogen (pure element) and Oxygen (also pure element) bonded together to form a compound (H20). However, while a compound can be broken down into its simple elements, an element cannot be broken down. It is said that an element is the purest whole form. --- Some common substances include both elements (pure elements) and compounds. Air, for example, contains elements such as nitrogen and oxygen, and also compounds such as carbon dioxide (CO2), which is made from carbon and oxygen.
